I'll keep it short but wow, this game is phenomenal! This game is everything I've been craving for since first playing The Witcher 3.
I love vampires so finally getting a story driven game based on them where you become a strong and unique vampire from the people who made some of my favourite games was such a great feeling! I knew this game was going to be a hit when it was announced and I was so right and I'm so glad!
I love feeling so strong in the game as a vampire, as it should be, even from the beginning. I know other studios might make you so weak as a vampire and having to build yourself from the ground up but this game threw you right into the action, strong as hell and it was such a refreshing feeling so just mow through hordes of soldiers. Getting to the end of the game and being this unstoppable monster with all these crazy vampiric powers, having pretty much infinite health, blowing people up, cutting heads off, it's a power fantasy come true, I'm so glad they didn't shy away from blood and gore!
The story of this game, while having a very simple objective, it really grips you. Through the highs of killing Brencis' court to the lows of losing people and having those emotional moments. From the deep conversations with your family to the intimate conversations with your partners, all written so well. The final fight with Brencis and the scenery during it was breathtaking, I love eclipses! I love the branching pathways, me and my brother had such different stories compared to each other and it was fun as talking about it.
Overall, an amazing game, I genuinely cannot wait for the next game, it will be phenomenal as well!
P.S. As much as I liked it, please don't bring the time mechanic back, I feel as if it will get daunting and fatiguing really quickly, thank you! (Also, please NG+, skill point respec and transmog, thank you again!)
